Of course!
I merely believe that the kind of humor associated with any given group or subculture has its own characteristics (which often reflect the values & norms of the group); and I believe "cringeyness" is characteristic of programmer humor.
Overlaps are possible.
I would argue that I didn't make an especially bold proposition when I said programmer humor was cringey. I knew some would construe it as a verbal application of negative space, as if implying all other humor was strictly superior; but this is not the case.
